Caratteristiche

Località

Leaving the coll Verdeguer car park (below Can Puigmoltó) along the camí de Coll Sostrell (or Sustrell), once you reach the pla de les Agulles, the path turns left towards the summit, descends slightly and on the right a doline can be seen. Right at its edge a small path starts that skirts it along its western side and leads to the crag. From this point you must continue descending, turning to the right, and a few metres further on the entrance is found, at the foot of an “agulla”, and oriented towards the S. (Location data, coordinates and photos provided by Lluís Muntan).

Descrizione

Morfologia

Made up of a single chamber, elliptical in plan and measuring 13 metres along its longest axis and 5 metres along the transverse axis. At the NE end of the hall there is a small vault that rises to a height of 5 metres.

It is a periglacial edge cavity, parallel to the crag, on which a normal karstic action was superimposed. The opening of the entrance is due to the degradation of the crag, which, as it retreated, intersected with the preformed cavity.

Concrezioni

In general there are few reconstructive forms, except in the area of the raised vault where the chemolithogenic process is highly evolved.

Storia

The first speleological exploration was carried out by N. Font i Sagué on 20 July 1898. On that first visit he already recorded its archaeological interest with the discovery of human and ceramic remains. It has subsequently been the subject of interesting archaeological work.
